Declaring the Deity of Christ
Declaring the Deity of Christ
Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM. John 8:58
Declaring the deity of Christ in prayer is absolutely essential. Without it, our prayers will never get off the ground.
Early in Jesus’ ministry, He was questioned by the religious leaders who were trying to diminish His self importance by degrading Him as one less than Abraham, like all the rest of the Jews. Jesus responded with unequivocal clarity, invoking the double oath of, “truly, truly,” and then making the profoundly revealing statement, “Before Abraham was, I, I AM.” When Jesus clearly stated His own deity, the Jews immediately picked up stones to kill Him, but Jesus walked quickly away from them.
There are still those who are tormented by even the consideration of the deity of Christ. We, on the other hand, who embrace the deity of Christ want to boldly use His Name as a spiritual weapon in prayer.
With all the spiritual authority that comes with the deity of Christ, use His Name, I AM, today as you pray.
Christ, You are God. I declare Your deity, Your potency, Your supremacy over my life, my family, my church family today. I declare You as the great I AM. You are everything. For me and for all people. I put myself under Your all-sufficiency today.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Marshall Islands and Idaho.
